Cargo Is A Uniquely Exhilarating Zombie Thriller
Who will we be at the end of the world? This is the nerve-gnawing question at the heart of Cargo, a post-apocalyptic zombie thriller that feels like the lovechild of Pat Frank’s nuclear war novel Alas, Babylon and George Romero’s Living Dead films. Zombies are a threat on the fringe of its Australian Outback setting, while at its core Cargo is the story of a father trying to find a viable future for his infant daughter.
Martin Freeman stars as Andy, a British family man used to modern conveniences who is forced to learn new skills, like boating, backpacking, and shooting, to make his way across the Outback in safety. But a brutal zombie bite puts a ticking clock on his efforts to find a home for his child. He has only 48 hours from the point of infection before he’ll turn into a merciless, flesh-craving creature, and his daughter would turn from loved-one to lunch.
